Conscious Discipline

Conscious Discipline® plays a central role in our program’s approach to developing social and emotional skills in children. Through an array of behavior management strategies and protocols, mentors learn to turn everyday situations into learning opportunities for them and the children. Our main behavior management strategy includes the use of the three main pillars of Conscious Discipline®.

Guiding with Consciousness:

  • -Self-awareness & composure

    -Positive communication to build trust

    -Attunement

  • -Empathy and encouragement

    -Emotional support

    -Connection

  • -Awareness of choices

    -Cooperation abilities

    -Social – awareness

Conscious Approach:

Consciously guiding our children allows them to learn and name their emotions, regulate them, and then solve problems.

In doing these, children are encouraged to practice:

• Problem solving

• Cooperation

• Acceptance

• Self–awareness

• Accountability

They do this while getting a sense of:

• Worthiness

• Belongingness

• Support

• Encouragement

• Validation

In our program we do NOT use or believe in the following:

Time-outs, shaming, punishments, physical or emotional violence

Conscious Discipline

Ensuring your child receives consistent guidance is incredibly important to all aspects of their growth, so we strongly encourage you to practice Conscious Discipline skills at home too. We believe so deeply in this approach that we require all Pachamama Parents to complete a 10 hour Conscious Discipline® Workshop. This knowledge and skillset is effective, empowering and fun!
